I said Austin has trade value but it will diminish playing along side luka how old are you? Gabe has no trade value nor does rui teams wanted assests to take them on they saw rui in the playoffs weren't impressed and gabe is an average shooter who is an undersized defender noone is calling for gabe.. The reason rui and gabe are still there is they have no trade value..
Knecht is fine. Hes 6'6, on a rookie deal at 19, and already a 47/36/83 shooter.
Rui's on a bigger deal w/ less team control and is older, but more size and way better shooting; 53/43/76 in his last 2 seasons (100+ games) w/ the lakers. One bad playoff series doesn't undo that. Remember, DLo (.384 FG), Reaves (.269 3P), Dinwiddie (.357/250) and of course Vincent (.250/.143) were all horrible too.
For his career in the postseason -- including that gentleman's sweep -- Rui is still a 54/49/76 shooter (57/52/80 without it).
Both guys had terrible defensive metrics on a bad (bottom 10) defense.
Feels pretty even to me, just depends on if you want your terrible defense (no upside there for either) to come with cheap team control and "unproven" shooting or if you want shooting/size but pay for it with cap space.
Both guys fit different timelines.
You think Knect is 19?
interesting -- not sure how i typed 19
